  • The good- the shuttle service to & from airport was great. The boat included in my self guide package was clean & ran great. The bad, - this was my 3rd stay & my previous was 4 years ago. The place has gone downhill from before. Food is nothing to rave about, and very few choices. Its no longer self serve, but more like subway sandwich shop. The 1970's baseboard heat in our room was dangerously close to the bed. The bathroom door doesnt close & latch ( room #1) 1 electric outlet not near a table or stand. No longer have soup during lunch hours. No longer have frozen herring available, only old salted herring. We lost fish due to a hole in our net provided on the boat. Went in and traded it for another net , which we later found out had holes as well.after 3 trips back to the dock, we finally got one that we could use. tackle provided was minimal at best. The young people working the docks were awesome. I'll be checking other places for my next trip.

  • My son and husband just returned from here. The rooms were as minimal but nice hot showers. The mattress sunk almost to the floor it felt he said. So hardly any sleep. Food was delicious. Breakfast plenty to choose and start the day off great. Packing your lunches was Terrific. The dinners good at the end of an Amazing fishing filled day. Loved the outdoor big deck and activities. Plus what a view. Thanks for the live camera of the loading/unloading so I could get lots of pictures with about a 40 second lag. They supplied rain gear and did an amazing job cleaning and packing all their fish for the trip home. Truly a trip of a lifetime. But please get new mattresses ; )

  • We loved this resort. The staff were way nice and super helpful. The office staff, shuttle driver, dock crew, and restaurant staff were all awesome. They all did a great job. Our fish were processed perfectly and everything went great. They were super understanding with getting us setup on our boat and pointing us the right direction with fishing spots and proper gear etc. There were a few changes we had to make last minute and they were super accommodating. We did a charter boat with Rick one day and that was the most amazing fishing ever. Me, my dad and my two brothers had a GREAT time. The food was awesome as well. Thanks!!!

  • We had a great time at Clover Pass. The staff was amazing. The chef was an amazing cook and made some great food! The dock staff was very kind and Kelly had us iced and ready to go by 5 am just in time for some amazing salmon fishing. I took a group of 9 guys and everyone of them was so thrilled. I can?t wait to go back. Thank you Russell and all your great staff!

  • We had a great time here fishing for 3 days. Not luxury, but who's looking for that on a fishing trip? The rooms were nice and comfortable. Food was good and there was lots of it. The staff were all extremely friendly and helpful. I will most likely be making a return trip here for more fishing.
